Because it isnt reddit haha. The format and design of reddit is ridiculously outdated and not likely to ever change. I have to use the RES add on from a 3rd party to make it useable really. Besides we are each our own community with our own inside jokes (danquan vs jenny) so it is nice to be “in the loop with out group” so to say.

Have you hung about imgur much? Clearly there is a delineation between the reddit crowd and the imgur crowd. There is obviously some middle ground where some users frequent both, but that does not seem to be the majority of those who comment in the imgur comments area, not to mention the lurkers. This will be different in that it will provide an expanded forum for communication that the imgur comments section clearly lacks. FYI, if I sound like I’m being rude in the way that I am saying this, I do not mean to be, it’s just the way I talk/write, but I’ve been told in the past that I come across rudely sometimes so I apologize if that’s the case. I can’t seem to proofread my way out of it.

Community is smaller to an extent. People here are generally nicer and more caring in my opinion. Imgur is the light, reddit is the dark. You need both to survive however. This board is still in its infancy but it has a lot of potential and room to expand daresay will rival Reddit itself. Imgur may be a spawn of Reddit, but children have to grow up and perhaps we can outdo our parent! But most of all i feel moderation and community is closer than that of reddits.

Sorry, that’s a bunch of cow feces. Imgur community is far from being nicer, they jump onto the first bandwagon they see. Happen to mention you dislike some popular show or disagree? Yeah, have fun in oblivion.

I recently stumbled upon one post on imgur, where the guy said he was from Africa and they had a lesson to write a letter in English (his imgur post). Someone called him out on his “bad” English because his anotehr post was a movie compilation with perfect English. What do you think happend? “OP is a faggot” and the guy had all his comments downvoted without A SINGLE PERSON googling the movie descriptions, which are straight copy paste from imdb…
